Answer:
The agent causing the pneumonia, where bluish-green pus was found, is most likely Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Explanation:
Pseudomona aeuriginosa is a gram-negative bacteria that is one of the main causes of hospital-acquired infections, including pneumonias in mechanically ventilated patients.
One of the characteristics of P. aeuriginosa is the formation of a bluish-green pus, since it has the capacity to form cyanide-based blue pigment upon contact with the organic tissues it infects. This is the reason why previously P. aeruginosa was called a pyocyanic bacillus.
<em> The other options are not correct because the only bacterium that produces blue-green pus is P. aeruginosa.</em>
Answer: The program completed in a quarter of the time with four computers versus one computer
Explanation:
Distributed computing simply means using distributed systems in solving computational problems and this is done as the problem is divided into many tasks, whereby the tasks are accomplished by one or more computers.
Following the information given in the question, a speedup of 4 indicate that the program completed in a quarter of the time with four computers versus one computer.
Answer:
3/8
Explanation:
Martha has a widow's peak (dominant trait) and attached earlobes (recessive trait).
Martha's dad had a straight hairline (ww) and unattached earlobes (Ee, because she has the recessive alleles ee and both parents give us one allele).
This tells you that martha has a mother with at least one of both alleles dominant for widow peak and at least one recesive allele of attached earlobes
So, martha's alleles are: Ww and ee.
If she marries a man that is heterozygous for both traits (Ww and Ee) the probabilitys are
Ww Ee x Ww ee: WWEe, WwEe, wWee, and wwee
A possible Hypothesis probably .
